NOTICE  TO  NEW  BIDDERS 

Our  Mail  Auction  Sales  Are  Conducted  in  the  Following 

1.  Bids  are  entered  in  the  order  received;  if  identical  bids  are  re- 
ceived, the  first  bidder  is  awarded  the  lot.  SEND  BIDS  AIRMAIL — 
IT  PAYS. 

2.  The  highest  bidder  on  the  date  of  the  sale  is  awarded  the  coin  at  a 
slight  advance  over  the  second  highest  bidder.  Bids  you  send  in  are  the 
maximum  you  are  willing  to  pay  for  the  coin.  WE,  AS  YOUR  AGENT, 
TRY  TO  BUY  THE  COIN  AS  LOW  AS  THE  NEXT  HIGHEST  BID 
WILL  ALLOW. 

3.  Valuations  placed  in  the  auction  catalog  are  catalog  prices,  prices

tention to  the  error  made  in  cataloging.  While  we  try  to  describe  coins 
as  accurately  as  possible,  it  is  inevitable  that  an  occasional  error  is 
made  in  the  cataloging  of  thousands  of  coins  each  month.  Whenever 
this  happens,  we  want  it  called  to  our  attention  to  help  prevent  future 
errors. 

The  coins  will  be  on  display  the  day  of  the  sale  at  our  offices  and 
can  be  seen  by  appointment,  any  day  prior  to  the  sale. 

If  you  are  not  interested  in  these  sales,  won’t  you  advise  us  so  we  may 
discontinue  sending  you  catalogs.

IS  THIS  YOUR  FIRST  AUCTION  CATALOG? 

12th  EDITION  GUIDE  BOOK  AND  18th  EDITION  STANDARD  CATALOG 

USED  IN  CATALOGING  THIS  SALE 

Scarce  gold,  proofs  before  1936,  small  cents,  proof  gold  and  currency  seem  to 
be  rising  the  most  rapidly  at  present  with  most  bringing  close  to  listed  values  and 
a great  number  bringing  even  more.  Many  are  rising  from  month  to  month  with 
vi  a number  "just  not  obtainable."  The  coins  most  in  demand  will  have  the  greatest 

number  of  bidders  and  with  the  law  of  supply  and  demand  working,  these  coins 
keep  setting  new  records. 

Occassionally  a collector  writes  us  asking  why  our  estimated  values  in  some 
instances  are  higher  than  the  catalog  listing.  This  occurs  when  the  demand  is 
so  great  and  the  supply  so  small  that  new  records  are  set  whenever  these  coins 
come  upon  the  market.  If  one  will  take  a few  moments  to  reflect,  he  will 
understand  that  it  takes  several  months  to  compile  the  necessary  information 
before  the  catalog  can  be  published,  therefore,  it  is  inevitable  that  the  catalog 
listing  will  be  under  the  prevailing  market  price  on  the  items  in  popular  de- 
mand at  the  time  of  the  publication.  The  estimated  prices  are  entered  only 
after  careful  examination  of  the  results  in  our  past  sales  which  reflect 
the  actual  and  not  theoretical  value.  (PLEASE  NOTE  THAT  MANY  OF  THE 
ESTIMATES  ARE  CATALOG  VALUE  ONLY.  MANY  OF  THE  GOLD  COINS, 
SILVER  $1,  WASHINGTON  QUARTERS,  ETC.  ARE  ESTIMATED  AT  CATALOG.) 
in  the  final  analysis,  you  the  collector,  are  the  one  who  sets  the  price. 

BIDS  ARE  RECORDED  AS  FOLLOWS:  Each  bid  sheet  is  given  a number  as 
it  comes  in,  and  the  bids  are  recorded.  In  the  event  of  identical  bids,  the 
first  bidder  receives  the  lot.  At  the  last  day  of  the  sale,  the  books  are  closed 
with  the  highest  bidder  on  each  lot  being  awarded  the  lot  at  an  advance  of 
not  over  5%  above  the  next  highest  bidder.  For  illustration — the  two  highest 
bids  received  on  a lot  may  be  $17  and  $20.  The  highest  bidder  who  bid  $20 
would  receive  the  lot  at  $17.25.  We  act  as  your  agent  and  use  your  bids  as 
a limit — not  as  a final  bid  unless  we  are  forced  to  do  so  to  obtain  the  lot. 
We  accept  unlimited  bids  which  generally  assures  the  bidder  of  obtaining  that 
lot  regardless  of  what  the  highest  bid  may  be.  Where  the  lot  is  bringing  far 
more  than  we  believe  it  is  worth  or  in  the  event  of  two  unlimited  bidders  on  the 
same  lot,  we  notify  the  unlimited  bidders  by  phone  or  wire,  if  necessary,  in 
order  to  obtain  a fixed  limit  to  the  bid.  Even  tho  auction  purchases  are  sup- 
posed to  be  final,  we  do  not  want  you  to  keep  any  lots  which  you  believe  are 
improperly  described.  We  endeavor  to  treat  our  customers  as  we  would  wish 
to  be  treated.  Coin  collecting  is  a personal  hobby  which  makes  life  a little 
more  pleasant.  We  try  to  keep  it  on  a friendly  basis  and  value  the  many 
friends  we  have  made  thru  the  years.  If  you  have  any  complaints,  we  want 
to  hear  them  as  well  as  any  compliments. 

YOUR  SUCCESSFUL  BIDS  WILL  INSURE  YOUR  RECEIVING 
SUCCESSIVE  CATALOGS  WITHOUT  INTERRUPTION. 

BARGAINS  GALORE 

In  every  sale,  some  lots  go  at  "bargain  prices."  May  we  suggest  that  in 
addition  to  bidding  on  those  lots  you  '"really  want,"  you  place  nominal  bids 
on  those  lots  that  "you  might  buy  if  they  went  at  bargain  prices."  While  you 
may  not  obtain  many  of  these  "bargain  lots,"  yet  in  every  sale  you  may  pick 
up  seme  real  bargains. 

Sincerely, 

A.  M.  KAGIN  and  PAUL  KAGIN.

YOU  MUST  BE  SATISFIED 

Our  Sales  Are  Cataloged  With  You  in  Mind.  If  you  have  any  suggestions, 
complaints,  compliments  (yes  we  receive  some  now  and  then),  we  want  to  hear 
them.  Having  cataloged  over  two  hundred  successful  coin  auctions,  we 
believe  we  ore  qualified  to  advise  and  help  you  with  your  numismatic  problems. 
No,  we  don't  "know-it-all"  but  we  do  know  where  to  obtain  the  information 
we  don't  have. 


We  have  a number  of  want  lists  on  hand  for  the  scarce  and  rare  United 
States  coins  and  currency.  Our  average  commission  for  obtaining  these  speci- 
mens is  only  10  per  cent,  therefore  we  believe  we  can  pay  the  top  price  for 
your  choice  and  scarce  pieces,  no  matter  how  rare.  Don't  you  think  it  is  worth 
a 6$  airmail  stamp  to  find  out  what  we  would  pay  for  your  outstanding  pieces? 
naturally  we  buy  collections,  too.

SOMETHING  NEW  HAS  BEEN  ADDED 


We  wish  to  call  your  attention  to  the  new  service  extended  as  per  the  bottom 
of  the  bid  sheet.  After  receiving  requests  to  apply  the  amount  saved  in  the 
awarding  of  successful  bids  below  the  bids  authorized  we  decided  to  avail  this 
service  to  all  of  our  clients.  It  is  often  exasperating  to  lose  a lot  by  a few 
nickels  when  the  amount  saved  on  the  successful  bids  would  have  been  sufficient 
to  increase  the  original  bid  to  the  point  necessary  to  receive  the  lot.  Check 
the  bottom  of  your  bid  sheet.

$1  GOLD— SET  PHILADELPHIA  MINT 


The  interest  shown  in  this  series  is  keen  indeed.  Many  have  advanced 
substantially  during  the  past  year  with  some  nearly  doubling  in  value.  There 
appears  to  be  no  letup  in  demand.  No  doubt  many  will  appear  as  “bargains'7 
at  present  day  prices  a few  months  hence.

for  Longacre  the  engraver  (also  engraved  the  1864-L  Cent)

ED AS  A PROOF).  Have  seen  similar  specimens  valued  to  $ 500.00

ALOGED $200  IN  1957  STANDARD  CATALOG  (PRICES  COM- 
PILED OVER  1 y2  YEARS  AGO)  BUT  HAVE  SEEN  ONE  NOT 
QUITE  THE  EQUAL  OF  THIS  PRICED  AT $ 350.00

23 — 1865  BRILLIANT  PROOFLIKE  GEM.  JUST  ABOUT  THE 
EQUAL  OF  A FULL  PROOF.  VERY  RARE.  SHOULD  BRING 
OVER  THE  CATALOG  VALUE  (STANDARD)  OF  $275;  IN 
FACT  WE  WOULD  NOT  BE  SURPRISED  TO  SEE  THIS  RARITY 
BRING  CLOSER  TO $ 350.00 


24 —  1866  Uncirculated  with  some  prooflike  surface.  In  fact  it  was 

valued  by  the  owner  at  the  catalog  value  (standard)  of 

25 —  1867  Acquired  as  a PROOF  but  since  it  has  been  cleaned,  we  will 

call  it  semi-proof  in  order  to  be  safe.  We  note  the  standard 
catalog  lists  proofs  at  

26 —  1868  Uncirculated  with  some  prooflike  surface,  orange  tint.  RARE. 

Should  bring  around  its  catalog  value  (for  proof)  of

29 —  1871  Brilliant  prooflike  gem  (or  as  one  of  our  colleagues  would 

say,  a lovely  pseudo-proof).  Should  bring  catalog  value  (standard) 
for  a proof  of 

30 —  1872  Extremely  fine  with  usual  lightly  struck  87  in  date.  RARE. 

TOTAL  ISSUE  OF  ONLY  3500 

31 —  1873  PROOF  WITH  ORANGE  TINT.  OPEN  3 


32 — 1873  CLOSED  3,  BRILLIANT  PROOF,  ONLY  25  ISSUED.  THE 
RAREST  GOLD  DOLLAR  OF  THIS  MINT.  The  coiner  complain- 
ed to  the  Director  of  the  Mint  about  the  closed  3 resembling 
an  8;  this  was  immediately  corrected  in  a new  die.  OF  GREAT-

RARE.  HAVE  SEEN  THIS  DATE  VALUED  AT  600.00 

35 —  1876  Brilliant  prooflike  gem  (some  dealers  refer  to  these  as  semi- 


proofs or  pseudo-proofs)  probably  struck  from  proof  dies  after  they 
were  thru  striking  the  proofs.  RARE.  With  a total  of  only  3200 
issued,  this  is  one  of  the  smallest  issued  of  this  mint.  Should  be 


worth  at  least  the  catalog  value  (for  a proof)  of 85.00 

36 —  1877  BRILLIANT  GEM  PROOF.  ONLY  20  ISSUED.  PROBABLY 

THE  MOST  UNDERVALUED  PROOF  IN  THE  SERIES 250.00

how  this  was  acquired  as  a proof.  RARE.  TOTAL  ISSUE  ONLY

worth  its  catalog  value  for  proof  of 110.00

which  catalogs  100.00 

39 —  1880  Prooflike  with  orange  tint.  We  had  to  look  at  this  very 
closely  before  deciding  it  was  a semi-proof  rather  than  a full

MARKABLE STATE  OF  PRESERVATION  AND  SHARPNESS  IN 
STRIKING.  WITH  EXTREMELY  FINE  SPECIMENS  NOW 
WORTH  OVER  $1000,  THIS  CHOICE  ONE  SHOULD  EASILY 
BE  WORTH  AT  LEAST  $1500.00 


65 — 1 856-D  VERY  NEARLY  UNCIRCULATED.  OF  THE  GREATEST 
RARITY.  IN  FACT,  OUR  RECORDS  REVEAL  THAT  THIS  DATE 
HAS  COME  UPON  THE  MARKET  FEWER  TIMES  THAN 
OTHER  GOLD  DOLLAR!  After  studying  this  choice  specimen 
closely,  we  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  this  remarkable 
speciman  has  not  been  in  circulation.  What  appears  to  be  some 
evidence  of  friction,  is  actually  the  weakness  in  striking  of  the 
die  cm  the  hair  of  the  forehead.  To  be  on  the  "safe  side"  we 
have  called  it  nearly  uncirculated.  BASED  ON  THE  RARITY, 
TOGETHER  WITH  THE  STRONG  DEMAND  FOR  THIS  CHOICE 
SPECIMEN,  WE  WOULD  NOT  BE  SURPRISED  TO  SEE  IT 
BRING  SOMEWHERE  CLOSE  TO  $2000.00 


66 —  1857-D  Brilliant  uncirculated.  VERY  RARE,  ESPECIALLY  IN 

THIS  REMARKABLE  STATE  OF  PRESERVATION.  Greatly  under- 
valued in  keeping  with  its  true  rarity.  400.00 

67 —  1858-D  Very  nearly  uncirculated  with  luster,  SHARPLY  STRUCK 
DATE.  VERY  RARE  SO  CHOICE.  We  note  uncirculated  specimens 

of  this  date  have  been  valued  at 400.00 

68 —  1859-D  Very  nearly  uncirculated  with  luster,  sharply  struck  date. 

VERY  RARE  SO  CHOICE.  We  saw  an  "uncirculated"  (about  the 
same  condition  as  this  one)  at  the  recent  A.N.A.  convention 

priced  at  350.00 


69— 1860-D  VERY  NEARLY  UNCIRCULATED  WITH  LUSTER.  After 
studying  the  coin  closely,  we  believe  what  appears  as  fricton 
on  the  top  strands  of  hair  on  the  forehead  is  due  to  the  striking 
from  a worn  die.  AN  OUTSTANDING  RARITY,  PARTICULAR- 
LY IN  THIS  REMARKABLE  STATE  OF  PRESERVATION.  IN 
THIS  CONDITION,  EASILY  WORTH $1500.00 


6 


70— 1861-D  VERY  NEARLY  UNCIRCULATED  WITH  LUSTER, 
SHARPLY  STRUCK  DATE.  Actually,  uncirculated  but  struck 
from  worn  die  on  which  the  top  strands  of  hair  on  the  fore- 
head are  not  struck  up  sharply.  A REMARKABLE  SPECIMAN 
OF  THIS  GREAT  RARITY.  ALSO  IN  GREAT  DEMAND  BY 
COLLECTORS  OF  CONFEDERATE  COINS  SINCE  THESE  WERE 
STRUCK  AFTER  THE  CONFEDERACY  SEIZED  THE  MINT. 

Judging  from  the  strong  demand  and  rarity  of  this  date,  plus  the 
remarkable  state  of  preservation,  we  would  not  be  surprised  to 
see  this  "Confederate"  coin  bring  close  to $2000.00

$2i/2  GOLD— PHILADELPHIA  MINT 


This  series  has  also  undergone  a sharp  increase  in  interest  and  demand  with 
new  records  being  set  nearly  every  time  offered.  Valuations  for  the  most  part 
are  based  upon  past  auctions  (the  true  reflection  of  actual  supply  and  demand). 
When  bidding,  please  consider  that  on  a rapidly  rising  market,  bids  from  dis- 
appointed bidders  will  probably  exceed  those  received  in  previous  sales  resulting 
in  new  records  being  set.

85 — 1796  TYPE  I,  WITHOUT  STARS  ON  OBVERSE,  a choice  ex- 
tremely fine  and  sharply  struck  speciman.  EXCELLENT  FOR 
TYPE  SET.  Only  897  specimens  issued,  of  which  only  a few 
have  survived  (in  addition,  many  were  melted  for  their  gold 
value  when  the  price  of  gold  was  raised  in  1834).  The  majority 
of  those  still  in  existence  are  Li  the  fine  to  very  fine  category 
with  choicer  specimens  exceedingly  difficult  to  obtain.  The  last 
speciman  to  appear  in  our  sales  was  in  April  and  realized 
$1400.00.  Since  then,  the  new  catalog  was  issued  in  June  ad- 
vancing its  value  $200  over  the  previous  catalog  (reflecting 
its  strong  demand  as  a type  coin  issued  only  in  the  beginning  of 
1796).  Judging  from  the  number  of  want  lists  on  hand,  we 
would  not  be  surprised  to  see  this  popular  rarity  bring  in  the 
neighborhood  of  $1750.00 


86 — 1796  TYPE  II,  16  STARS  OBVERSE  (for  states)  very  nearly  uncir- 
culated with  orange  patina.  ACCORDING  TO  THE  GUIDEBOOK, 
ONLY  66  SPECIMENS  WERE  ISSUED.  ONE  OF  THE  MOST  UN- 
DERVALUED COINS  OF  THE  ENTIRE  SERIES.  The  last  speciman 
we  had  the  privilege  to  catalog  was  in  the  complete  (except  3) 
set  we  offered  in  April.  That  speciman  was  in  virtually  the  same 
condition  except  it  had  a scratch.  It  brought  $1225.00  on  an 
estimated  value  of  $1500.00.  Since  this  great  rarity  is  several 
times  as  rare  as  the  other  type  of  this  date,  we  believe  it  should 
bring  closer  to  


2000.00 


86A 1802  TYPE  V,  overdate,  8x5  STARS  (stars  fixed  at  13  when  it 

was  realized  how  impractical  it  would  be  to  add  a star  for  each 
new  state)  extremely  fine  and  sharp.  RARE.  According  to  the 
standard  catalog,  only  31  to  75  are  stitS  in  existence,  making  this 
a greatly  undervalued  date  in  keeping  with  its  true  rarity.  Should 
bring  over  


350.00 


£7 1805  TYPE  VI,  7x6  STARS  ON  OBVERSE,  Uncirculated  with 

orange  tint,  some  prooflike  surface,  slight  rubbing  on  cheek.  Ac- 
cording to  the  catalog  THIS  DATE  IS  ABOUT  TWICE  AS  RARE 
AS  THE  1802.  A VERY  RARE  DATE  IN  UNUSUALLY  CHOICE 
STATE  OF  PRESERVATION.  Should  easily  be  worth  at  least  750.00 


gg 1806  OVER  4,  8x5  stars,  Uncirculated  with  characteristic 

lightly  struck  eagle's  head  (as  on  all  we  can  recall  having 
seen.)  VERY  RARE  IN  THIS  STATE  OF  PRESERVATION.  Only 
about  2/3  as  many  issued  as  the  above  date.  VERY  RARE 
DATE.  Greatly  undervalued  in  keeping  with  its  true  rarity. —

doesn't  have  as  strong  a demand.  GREATLY  UNDERVALUED

dervalued dates  in  the  series  in  keeping  with  its  true  rarity.  Many 
with  2 or  3 times  the  amount  issued  bring  higher  prices.  Why?

lectors). UNDERVALUED  IN  KEEPING  WITH  ITS  TRUE 
RARITY.  The  standard  catalog  has  “VERY  RARE"  Instead  of 
« a catalog  price.  We  noticed  an  extremely  fine  speciman  re- 

cently priced  at  $450,  surely  this  choicer  one  should  be  worth

handled proof"  (for  which  it  was  acquired)  or  an  early  impres- 
sion from  the  proof  dies  after  they  were  put  into  use  for  the

$3  GOLD  COMP1 ETE  SET  (Including  1875  and  18761 


Quite  popular  with  new  records  constantly  being  set.  It  has  been  several  years 
since  we  have  had  the  privilege  of  cataloging  a complete  set.  With  new  records 
literally  being  set  each  time  offered,  we  strongly  urge  obtaining  the  missing  ones 
to  complete  your  set  before  they  "go  out  of  sight"  in  price.  A glance  at  the 
small  quantities  issued  of  most  dates  will  quickly  reveal  why  they  have  been 
advancing  so  rapidly  in  value. 

216—1854  ONLY  YEAR  OF  TYPE  WITH  SMALL  "DOLLARS",  un- 


circulated.   110.00 

217 — 1854  Similar  but  only  about  very  fine.  75.00 


218 — 1854-D  THE  ONLY  DATE  ISSUED  FROM  THE  DAHLONEGA 
MINT.  Extremely  fine.  A MUCH  SMALLER  ISSUE  THAN  THE 
1855-D,  56-D,  60-D,  or  61-D  GOLD  DOLLARS  WHICH  BRING 
AROUND  $1000  OR  MORE.  In  great  demand  as  a "type" 
coin.  Careful  analysis  of  our  records  leads  us  to  believe  that 
not  over  50  or  so  specimens  in  all  are  still  in  existence.  ONE 
OF  THE  MOST  UNDERVALUED,  IF  NOT  ACTUALLY  THE 
MOST  UNDERVALUED  DATE  IN  THE  SERIES.  Until  it  is  re- 
cognized for  the  great  rarity  it  is,  this  speciman  will  probably 
bring  closer  to  $ 500.00

A PROOF  FOR  WHICH  IT  WAS  ACQUIRED  BUT  SOMEONE 
EVIDENTLY  TRIED  TO  "IMPROVE"  IT  BY  CLEANING.  IT 
IS,  HOWEVER,  A LOVELY  PIECE  DESERVING  OF  A GOOD

Standard  Catalog  prices  proofs  at $ 900.00

TAINLY NO  SUPERIOR  CAN.  OF  GREAT  RARITY  AS  A

237 — 1866  PERFECT  BRILLIANT  PROOF.  THESE  REMARKABLE 
PROOFS  MUST  BE  SEEN  TO  BE  APPRECIATED.  After  cata- 
loging coins  for  years,  one  tends  to  become  blase  about 
“proofs",  “gems",  etc.  However,  after  seeing  these  “virgin 
proofs"  we  too  became  excited.  Maybe  that  is  one  of  the 
pleasures  in  cataloging  sales.  ONLY  30  PROOFS  ISSUED  OF 
WHICH  PROBABLY  NOT  OVER  15  OR  SO  ARE  STILL  IN

FACT,  WE  DOUBT  IF  MORE  THAN  AROUND  20  PROOFS 
WERE  STRUCK  DURING  THIS  TRYING  CIVIL  WAR  YEAR. 

OF  THESE,  PROBABLY  ONLY  AROUND  HALF  ARE  STILL  IN 
EXISTENCE  TODAY,  NEARLY  A CENTURY  LATER.  We  can 
still  recall  old-time  dealers  telling  us  that  proof  double  eagles 
were  very  difficult  to  sell  in  the  1920's,  even  at  a $1  or  so 
premium  over  face!  As  a result,  they  were  forced  to  "spend" 
them  in  order  to  free  their  capital.  Then,  in  early  1930's, 
there  were  so  few  collectors  who  could  afford  to  collect  double 
eagles,  that  many  dealers  did  not  bother  to  stock  them  but 
"spent"  them  (including  proofs).  As  recently  as  1941,  proof 
double  eagles  were  bringing  around  $50;  since  then  the 
influx  of  new  collectors  have  advanced  this  price  over  15 
times  (not  a bad  investment).  The  growth  of  the  hobby  avid 
demand  still  continues,  therefore  we  would  not  be  surprised 
to  see  this  rate  of  growth  in  value  continue.  THIS  RARITY 
SHOULD  TODAY  EASILY  BE  WORTH  AT  LEAST $2000.00

HAVE  BEEN  PRIVILEGED  TO  OFFER  THIS  GREAT  RARITY 
IN  ANY  OF  OUR  PREVIOUS  SALES!  ACCORDING  TO  THE 
GUIDEBOOK,  THIS  DATE  WAS  ONLY  ISSUED  IN  PROOF, 
AND  THEN  TO  THE  EXTENT  OF  ONLY  40.  UPON  CHECK- 
ING FURTHER,  V/E  NOTE  THIS  DATE  HAS  APPEARED  SO 
SELDOM  UPON  THE  MARKET  IN  THE  LAST  25  YEARS, 
THAT  WE  HAVE  COME  TO  THE  CONCLUSION  THAT 
WHAT  FRACTION  OF  THE  ORIGINAL  ISSUE  IS  STILL  IN 
EXISTENCE,  IS  FOR  THE  MOST  PART  IMPOUNDED  IN  MU- 
SEUMS, FOUNDATIONS,  INSTITUTIONS,  FAMOUS  COLLEC- 
TIONS OR  OTHERWISE  OFF  THE  MARKET.  WE  DOUBT  IF 
MORE  THAN  5 OR  6 SPECIMENS  ARE  AVAILABLE  TO  COL- 
LECTORS. OF  THESE,  HOW  MANY  CAN  STILL  REMAIN  IN 
SUCH  CHOICE  CONDITION  AS  THIS  ONE?  WE  BELIEVE  THE 
RARITY  OF  THIS  DATE  EQUALS,  IF  NOT  ACTUALLY  SUR- 
PASES,  THAT  OF  THE  1861-S  PACQUET  REVERSE  WHICH 
IS  LISTED  IN  THE  CATALOG  IN  VERY  FINE  CONDITION 
AT  $5,000.00;  AND  THE  1907  IN  VERY  HIGH  RELIEF 
WHICH  SOLD  OVER  TWO  YEARS  AGO  AT  $9250.00.  WITH 
THE  SHARP  RISE  IN  DEMAND  FOR  GOLD  COINS,  PARTICU- 
LARLY PROOFS,  WE  BELIEVE  THAT  REGARDLESS  OF  THE 
PRICE  PAID  FOR  THIS  BEAUTY,  IT  SHOULD  SHOW  A 
NICE  DIVIDEND,  BOTH  IN  SATISFACTION  OF  OWNER- 
SHIP AND  MONEY-WISE.  THE  RELATIVELY  "COMMON" 
1894  PROOF  BROUGHT  $1  150.00  AT  THE  A.N.A.  CONVEN-

ON  JUST  ABOUT  EVERY  WANT  LIST  WE  HAVE  RECEIVED

We  have  been  amazed  by  the  number  of  want  lists  we  have  received  in  the 
last  year  for  what  used  to  be  thought  as  a "dead  series."  Based  upon  the  present

HALF  DIMES  (Continued) 


strong  demand  and  small  supply  now  available,  we  feel  that  a number  of  dates 
are  greatly  undervalued.  Present  prices  should  appear  as  “bargains"  in  just  a 
few  months.

TON, "LIB.  PAR.  OF  SCIENCE  & INDUSTRY"  around  bust;

Very  nearly  uncirculated.  IN  GREAT  DEMAND.  Said  to  be 
struck  from  silverplate  furnished  by  George  Washington. 
Record  earlier  this  year  of  $1050.00  for  a better  speciman.

DOUBLE  TYPE  SET  DIMES 


The  owner  preferred  to  display  both  the  obverse  and  reverse,  therefore  he 
assembled  this  choice  prize-winning  collection.  An  unusual  opportunity  to  ac- 
quire select  specimens  of  these  popular  coins  which  are  rapidly  advancing  in 
value.  Who  knows  how  long  it  wili  be  before  equal  specimens  again  come  upon 
the  market. 

1455 — TYPE  I,  1796  15  STARS  (STATES)  SMALL  EAGLE,  very  nearly 
uncirculated.  In  great  demand  for  type  and  first  year  of  coin- 
age. We  saw  a similar  speciman  at  the  A.N.A.  Convention  in 


August  priced  at  350.00 

1456 —  1796  Very  f/ne  and  sharp.  RARE 250.00 

1457 —  TYPE  II,  1797  16  STARS  (Ten  nessee  became  a state)  very  fine.

1458 TYPE  III,  1797  13  STARS  (it  was  soon  realized  how  impractical 

it  would  be  to  add  a star  for  each  new  state)  very  good.  RARE.  100.00 


1459 TYPE  IV,  1798  OVER  97,  16  STARS  REVERSE,  BLUE  UN- 

CIRCULATED GEM.  VERY  RARE  IN  THIS  REMARKABLE 
STATE  OF  PRESERVATION.  500.00

1460— TYPE  V,  1798  OVER  97,  13  STARS  REVERSE,  just  about 
very  fine.  SAID  TO  BE  OF  EQUAL  RARITY  TO  THE  1894-S. 

UPON  CHECKING  OUR  RECORDS,  WE  FIND  THAT  THIS 
GREAT  RARITY  IS  OFFERED  AS  FEW  TIMES  AS  THE  1894- 
S.  The  last  speciman  of  this  rare  overdate  to  come  upon  the 
market  was  "good"  condition  at  $500  while  a similar  speci- 
man of  the  1894-S  brought  $3200.00.  This  speciman 
(should  go  higher  when  its  true  rarity  is  realized)  should 
now  be  worth  at  least  $2000.00

1824 — TYPE  I,  1794  FLOWING  HAIR,  SMALL  EAGLE,  15  STARS 
(STATES)  fine  with  the  reverse  approaching  very  fine.  RARE. 

DATE.  175.00 


1825 — 1795  B-18P,  Variety  with  re-engraved  M in  AMERICA, 
BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  WITH  SLIGHT  BLUISH  TINT, 

A SHARPLY  STRUCK  SPECIMAN.  VERY  RARE  IN  THIS 
REMARKABLE  CONDITION.  - $ 750.00 


1826 — 1795  Three  Lecves  Under  Wing  of  Eagle  (instead  of  two  as 
above)  very  fine.  ALMOST  AS  CHOICE  A SPECIMAN  OF 
THIS  RARITY  AS  WE  CAN  RECALL  SEEING.  The  extreme 
rarity  of  this  variety  is  probably  due  to  its  die  breaking  after 
only  a few  were  struck.  All  specimens  show  a very  sharp 
reverse  die  break.  $ 750.00 


1827— TYPE  II,  1796  15  STARS,  SMALLER  EAGLE  WITH  " V2  " BE- 
LOW, acquired  as  very  fine  and  while  the  reverse  appears  to 
be  that,  the  obverse  in  our  oprnion  is  a shade  from  that.  Pur- 
chased a year  ago  at  925.00 


1828 — 1797  Similar  type  (die  started  in  early  1796  but  date  added 
in  1797)  with  15  stars,  A BEAUTIFUL  SPECIMAN  ACQUIR- 
ED AS  UNCIRCULATED.  Close  examination  shows  some  fric- 
tion on  highest  points.  ONE  OF  THE  CHOICEST  SPECI- 
MENS KNOWN  OF  THIS  RARITY.  Try  and  duplicate  it  if 
you  can.  Purchased  a year  ago  at $3500.00 


1829— TYPE  III,  1796  16  STARS  (TENNESSEE  BECAME  A STATE) 
very  fine  and  sharp  obverse,  extremely  fine  and  sharp  re- 
verse. THE  RAREST  TYPE.  This  date  is  at  least  twice  as  rare 
as  the  1796  15  Stars  and  about  four  times  as  rare  as  the 
1797.  The  original  envelope  accompanying  the  coin  stated, 

"I  doubt  if  more  than  10  or  12  exist  in  all."  "This  is  the 
best  of  the  3 I have  had  in  20  years."  Since  this  envelope 
is  that  of  a then  prominent  dealer,  we  give  his  opinion  great 
consideration.  Purchased  2 y2  years  ago  at  $1950.00;  should 
now  be  worth  closer  to $2500.00

at  double  and  triple  the  prices  presently  indicated  for  the  most  common  states.

STONE  MONEY  OF  ISLAND  OF  YAP 


2514 — This  particular  speciman  was  the  one  personally  owned  by 
Holland  A.  Davis,  for  many  years  Secretary  of  the  American 
Philatelic  Society.  Mr.  Davis  acquired  this  piece  personally 
on  his  visit  to  the  Island  of  Yap  in  the  Pacific.  Stone  Money, 
called  Fae,  is  the  best  known  of  all  the  curiosities  of  Coins 
and  Currency.  These  circular  wheels  or  mill  stones  are  also 
called  Palan  in  the  Island  by  the  Natives,  and  are  made  from 
Aragonite,  which  is  a variety  of  Lime  Stone  found  on  Babel- 
thuap,  one  of  the  Islands  in  Pelews  which  are  in  the  Caroline 
group.  The  nearest  island  in  which  AragPnite  is  found  is 
reported  to  be  some  400  miles  from  the  island  of  Yap  in  this 
same  group.  They  vary  in  size  from  a few  inches  to  1 0 or 
12  feet  across,  and  are  quarried  in  the  pits  and  ferried 
across  on  rafts  to  form  the  Yap  Currency.  .Each  stone  has  a 
hole  in  its  center  so  that  it  may  be  carried  on  a pole.  It  is 
most  difficult  to  obtain  one  of  these  pieces  out  of  the  Islands 
which  is  one  of  the  reasons  their  value  is  so  high  in  America. 

It  takes  years  to  put  the  stone  into  money  shape  and  the 
work  is  done  by  hand.  This  piece  would  buy  fish,  pigs  and 
other  foods  for  a large  family  for  quite  a while.  It  measures 
nearly  a foot  across  and  is  attractively  mounted  for  display. 

Cost  $650;  should  now  bring  over  $750.00  altho  we  saw  one 
valued  at  $1000.00

FEATHER  MONEY  OF  SANTA  CRUZ  ISLANDS 


2515 — Odd,  yet  beautiful  is  this  strange  currency.  It  is  made  from 
the  red  headdress  of  a tiny  jungle  bird.  To  catch  this  bird  the 
natives  fill  a mussel  shell  with  a sticky  sap;  then  imitate  the 
call  of  the  bird  to  lure  it  to  this  trap.  It  comes,  gets  its  feet 
caught  in  the  sticky  sap,  and  is  then  easily  taken.  From 
Vanikoro  Island,  Santa  Cruz  Group.  It  is  called  "Tau  Vau 
and  is  used  in  buying  wives  or  "Maays"  as  they  are  called  by 
the  natives.  It  will  also  purchase  a 20  pound  pig.  The  bird 
is  called  "blood  bird"  or  "Honey  Eater".  The  feathers  are 
bushed  on  a base  of  hibiscus  fiber.  The  feather  money  is  in 
long  belt  form  about  25  feet  long.  It  is  rolled  and  mounted 
for  display  and  encased  in  a specially  made  wooden  box.  Ac- 
companying it  is  a picture  of  the  natives  holding  this  feather 
money  wound  around  a pole.  Cost  $550;  should  now  bring 
closer  to  750.00
